A plate of area 10cm2 is to be electroplated with copper (density 9000kg/m3) to a thickness of 10 micrometres on both sides, using a cell of 12V. Calculate the energy spent by the cell in the process of deposition. If this energy is used to heat 100g of water, calculate the rise in the temperature of the water. ECE of copper = 3 × 10-7kg C-1 and specific heat capacity of water = 4200Jkg-1.

 An electric kettle used to prepare tea, takes 2 minutes to boil 4 cups of water (1 cup contains 200cc of water) if the room temperature is 25C.
  1. If the cost of power consumption is Rs. 1.00 per unit (1 unit - 1000 watt-hour), calculate the cost of boiling 4 cups of water.
  2. What will be the corresponding cost if the room temperature drops to 5°C?
